| Another Picture perfect day for 8th Annual 5K Race! |
The 8th Annual Michael Dunleavy 5K Walk & Road Race to benefit
childhood Cancer Research held on April 11, 2010 was a big success.
The warm sun was tempered by the cool breezes and the near cloudless sky provided a perfect day as
hundreds of runners and walkers set off on their annual journey. Some 270 runners combined
with over 300 walkers in the annual event to help raise money to fight Childhood Brain Tumors
and promote cancer research.
Gerry Dunleavy and his family thank everyone for there continued
support both here in Winchester and for our Sister Foundation in Doolin, Ireland. His message this
year was warmly received by all present.... "Because of all of you we are making progress at a much faster
rate than anyone dreamed possible. According to Dr. Weinstein of MGH we are now where we once
thought would take us 15 years to reach in our fight against this devastating childhood illness..."

| What a difference a year makes !!! |
Ten year old twins Michael (number 156) and Daniel (number 155) O'Donaghue of Lexington who finished 77th
and 78th in last years race were back again this year and moved up to number 12 and 13
respectively. These two will be the ones to beat in future races. Very well done boys.
| Last years winners of the "Limo Ride to School" |
The Winner of last years "Limo Ride to School" (second from the left) and friends that went along for the ride thought the prize was pretty cool
and plan to try for it again this year.
| Do you know these People? |
Not only have we seen them year after year but they bring something with them that makes
your mouth water and your taste buds tingle. In fact this year they brought 880 of them. Need another clue? How about taking
110 large ones and making them into 880 smaller ones? Yep, it's our friends Michael and Lynn Rauseo from Gloria's Pizza. Our warmest thanks for all
you have done over the years to help make this event a huge success.
